The Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
September 7, 2025
We're thankful you've come here to watch our service and to worship the one true God!
This was another exciting Sunday at Pilgrim Lutheran Church! We've returned to our regular Sunday schedule, starting with Adult Bible class at 9:15 am and then our 10:30 am Worship service. Afterward, we gathered for food and conversations, while the children enjoyed Sunday School. These classes are full of activities and teaching, so the children learn how much God loves them!
If you live in the Burton area, please consider joining us on Sunday mornings! Anyone can watch our services live on Facebook or on Pilgrim's website.
Here is information about this worship service:
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Old Testament: Deuteronomy 30:15–20
Psalm: Psalm 1
Epistle: Philemon 1–21
Gospel: Luke 14:25–35
THEME FOR WORSHIP
Jesus, who is God’s Word, calls us to come after Him and to be His disciple. To Christians, this sounds good, and many of us strive and desire to be Jesus’ disciples. But in this difficult text, Jesus points out the costs of discipleship, which may include divisions in our families, renouncing our possessions and all manner of crosses we must bear. From our perspective, the disciple life is costly.
Because this text so directly points us to these harsh truths, we often tend to ignore these words, or give up on discipleship, convinced we can’t afford these costs. Thankfully, we’ll also discover our heavenly Father’s mercy & grace in this text.
